Updated: bash-3.1-9


A new release of bash, 3.1-9, is now available, replacing 3.1-8 as the
current version.  3.1-6 remains as the previous version.

NEWS:
=====
Due to complaints on the mailing list, this version attempts to alleviate
some of the pain of people who have difficulties working around \r\n line
endings in scripts residing on binary mounts.  First, if a script is
specified with a DOS path instead of a POSIX path (although this is not
the recommended behavior in cygwin), bash will ensure that the underlying
mount mode is respected, rather than the default cygwin behavior of using
binary mode, allowing the use of DOS paths on text mounts the way 3.1-6
behaved.  Second, this release adds a new shopt, igncr, which dynamically
tells bash to ignore all \r in the input file when it is set; however, it
defaults to unset.  With this shopt, it is possible to make a bash script
work on binary mounts even if it has \r\n line endings, by adding the
following line as the first non-comment:
  shopt -s igncr;#
The comment is necessary since bash parses a line at a time before
processing shopt, so you want to avoid interpreting the last potential \r
literally before the change takes place.  If you want your script to be
portable to other platforms or shells that don't understand igncr, you can
write it as:
  (shopt -s igncr) 2>/dev/null && eval 'shopt -s igncr';#
For now, the igncr shopt is only documented in this mail; I thought it
better to get 3.1-9 out the door than to spend time also patching the
online documentation and delaying the release.  It is also a chance for
any feedback to the list to influence whether I need to make 3.1-10 in the
near future.

Updated [experimental]: readline-5.2-1, libreadline6-5.2-1


A new release of readline and libreadline6, 5.2-1, is available for
experimental use.  5.1-5 remains the current version.

NEWS:
=====
This is an upstream release candidate, and hence experimental.  It is
possible that there are still bugs that will be fixed between this beta
and the final upstream release of 5.2.  Additionally, this version is not
strictly binary compatible with readline 5.1; it removes a cygwin-specific
entry point that bash 3.0 (but not bash 3.1) depended on.  Now that bash
3.0 is no longer available from the cygwin mirrors, I felt it safe to drop
that cygwin-specific patch.  Although it is unlikely that any other
package depended on this entry point, I need to know now if this decision
was not wise, in which case I will create libreadline7 when promoting
readline 5.2 to current, leaving libreadline6 to preserve the entry point;
but I will only do this if someone can demonstrate why it is needed (hint,
you would have to mention the entry point by name to show you know what
you are talking about).

The upstream maintainer claims that this version fixes some prompt display
bugs when using non-printing escape sequences with a single-line prompt.
I have not verified this, but hope that this is the case.

DESCRIPTION:
============
The readline library will read a line from the terminal and return it,
allowing the user to edit the line with emacs or vi editing keys.  It also
allows a history feature, for editing previous entries, making command
line interfaces easier-to-use and more intuitive.

New package: lyx-1.4.3-4

Version 1.4.3-4 of "lyx" has been uploaded.

In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

   LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
   based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
   is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.

   LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
   right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
   details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
   boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
   TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.

   On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
   richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
   nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
   looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
   different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
   your dissertation the evening before going to press.

   LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
   internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
   Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.

Version 1.4.3-4 is the first official cygwin port of lyx. Compared to
lyx-1.4.2, this version improves stability and MS Windows support.
Please refer to the lyx-announce mailing list (
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-announce&r=1&w=2) for a complete

New package: bsdiff-4.3-4

Version 4.3-4 of bsdiff has been uploaded.

bsdiff and bspatch are tools for building and applying patches to binary
files. By using suffix sorting (specifically, Larsson and Sadakane's
qsufsort) and taking advantage of how executable files change, bsdiff
routinely produces binary patches 50-80% smaller than those produced by
Xdelta, and 15% smaller than those produced by .RTPatch (a $2750/seat
commercial patch tool).

You can find more some more informations here:
http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/

detect language differences. It allows developers to interrogate their 
source.

mlcscope-14.1.8-2 updates mlcscope with buffer overflow fixes as 
previously addressed in sourceforge cscope. Thanks to DaveK for 
identifying these fixes and forwarding the patch.

The chere package has been updated.

This version fixes a bug when removing context menu items, and makes the

Updated [experimental]: readline-5.2-2, libreadline6-5.2-2


A new release of readline and libreadline6, 5.2-2, is available for
experimental use, replacing 5.2-1.  5.1-5 remains the current version.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new stable upstream release.  However, a bug has reported
against single-line prompts that use invisible characters, which I still
have not found a root cause for.  This release adds the same workaround
hack that 5.1-5 was using, but it is possible that I might yet be able to
fix the bug for good.  It is also possible that there might be upstream
bug fixes in the near future, if previous bash release patterns remain
true.  Additionally, this version is not strictly binary compatible with
readline 5.1; it removes a cygwin-specific entry point that bash 3.0 (but
not bash 3.1) depended on.  Now that bash 3.0 is no longer available from
the cygwin mirrors, I felt it safe to drop that cygwin-specific patch.
Although it is unlikely that any other package depended on this entry
point, I need to know now if this decision was not wise, in which case I
will create libreadline7 when promoting readline 5.2 to current, leaving
libreadline6 to preserve the entry point; but I will only do this if
someone can demonstrate why it is needed (hint, you would have to mention
the entry point by name to show you know what you are talking about; and
nobody did so with the 5.2-1 release).

A short list of upstream changes since 5.1 is attached.  See also

The readline library will read a line from the terminal and return it,
